LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) – The return of the gross-out reality contest “Fear Factor” on NBC premiered to robust numbers Monday night, while “Two and a Half Men” dipped to a season low but still remained top-rated and led CBS to an overall win for the night, according to preliminary numbers.
NBC’s “Fear Factor” at 8 drew a 3.2 rating/8 share in the adults 18-49 demographic — the highest non-Olympics performance in the slot for the network since February 2008 — and had 8.6 million total viewers. A second episode at 9 did even better, scoring a 3.8/8 and 8.5 million total viewers. “Fear Factor” appears to have given a boost to the ailing “Rock Center With Brian Williams,” which jumped 22 percent over last week with a 1.1/3 and 4 million total viewers.
